To Be Penned by Author of
Terrifier 2 Novelization, Tim
Waggoner, following Success of 2024 Title
LOS
ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS), a next-generation entertainment
studio, has announced that its Bloody Press publishing brand
will be releasing a novelization of hit indie horror film
Terrifier 3 later this year. Penned by
Tim Waggoner, author of the
successful Terrifier 2 novelization, Halloween Kills,
and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the Terrifier 3
book will follow the franchise storyline that the film's writer and
director Damien Leone brought to
moviegoers last year.
Under the direction of the Bloody Disgusting team at
Cineverse, Bloody Press is focused on creating and bringing
audiobooks, e-books and print editions to market. Its first release
was a success, selling more than 8,000 copies to fans who were
thrilled to follow villain Art the Clown in a new medium off the
screen.
"We continue to look for new opportunities to reach fans, from
novelizations to exclusive t-shirts and collectible merchandise to
podcasts," said Cineverse VP Network Strategy, Tom Owen. "When you can super-serve people who
are passionate about iconic horror franchises like Terrifier, it
makes it possible not only to drive revenue but to form powerful,
lasting connections."
"It is a thrill to be brought on board to contribute to the
world that Damien created and help tell Art and Sienna's stories in
new ways," said Waggoner. "I can't wait to share this story with
fans."
Waggoner is a four-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, a one-time winner of the
Scribe Award, and a two-time finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award. He teaches creative
writing and composition at Sinclair College in Dayton, Ohio.
The feature films, Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3,
are both available for streaming on SCREAMBOX.
After surviving Art the Clown's Halloween massacre, Sienna and
her brother are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives. As the
holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit
and leave the horrors of the past behind. But just when they think
they're safe, Art the Clown returns, determined to turn their
holiday cheer into a new nightmare. The festive season quickly
unravels as Art unleashes his twisted brand of terror, proving that
no holiday is safe.
Produced by Phil Falcone and
written and directed by Damien
Leone, Terrifier 3 stars David Howard Thornton, Lauren Lavera, Elliott
Fullam, Samantha Scaffidi,
Antonella Rose, Margaret Anne Florence, Bryce Johnson, Alexa
Blair, Mason Mecartea, Krsy
Fox, Clint Howard, Jon Abrahams with Chris
